Why do str8’s want to hurt and kill gays? It’s not as if we are competing for their mates… this makes no sense. Or is society simply one big pecking order and the weakest str8 needs to feel superior to someone… anyone… to get alpha approval?

It is simply because these homophobes have been braonwashed to HATE homosexuality – usually by religion and / or culture. So, let’s suppose someone secretly harbours same-sex fantasies. They are going to project all their inner-hatred outwardly. “Show me a homophobe; I’ll show you a closet case”. There IS no other reason for homophpobia. Religion is simply used as an excuse by these people to justify their bigotry and fear.

Shame that queen lizzie did not bother to address this violation of human rights in her recent commonwealth charter , What a stark , disturbing contrast between her and the more humane UN Secretary General.

I welcome this declaration. However, despite the several differences with LGBT people, the human rights of intersex people are also under attack across the world. Yet once again, intersex is left off the acronym, even when human rights are the focus.
